I work as an interior stylist and creative consultant, supporting professionals and private clients seeking inspiration for their spaces and visual storytelling. I also provide trend and design consultancy services. After working as a buyer at The Conran Shop for six years, first in London and then in Paris, I undertook a course in spatial design and interior decoration. This training enabled me to bring a new dimension to my business, Bureau Bubblegum, which I founded in 2020. As the founder and creative director, I have developed and managed the brand’s visual identity, created original design products, and shipped to clients worldwide. At its height, Bureau Bubblegum garnered over 30,000 followers on Instagram, reflecting strong engagement and a distinctive creative voice.
